A "radius arm" is the link that extends forward from the lower control arm
to the front crossmember. It locates the lower control arm fore and aft. If
it's bent, the lower arm will be pulled too far forwards and your alignment
will be off.

If it's bent, chances are pretty good something else got dagged too, so I'd
have an alignment shop look at it if I were you.

A radius arm, or radius rod, is hardly new. They've been around for
decades.
